THEIR REPORT.

The Grand Jury Find ITS True Bills
and Ask the Judge for Lay Off.
Col. Belknap, foreman OF the grand
jury, has submitted the following:
Hon. G. II. Noonan, Judge District Court:
SIR: The grand jury desire to express
their gratitude and thanks for your
kind notice of their complaint as to the
condition OF this court house, and for
providing comfortable quarters for their
labors.
We have endeavored to carry out your
honOr's instructions. 1t has not been an
easy task, nor one suited to our tastes or
desires.
We have given some eighteen days to
the examination of more than two hum
dred cases OF felony and misdemeanors,
examined over five hundred witnesses.
and brought In some one hundred and
seventy-five true bills or indictments,
for the violation Of laws-whether good
or bad, was not the province of this
grand Jury to debate nor determine.
Many are against those unfortunate per-
sons who have through habit and sssooi-
alton become outoasts. All sympathy
vanished on the evidence before us,
showing lamentable disregard for pub
lie morals and decency.
Many witnesses evinced great reluc-
lance in giving testimony, as II the
moral sentiment of the community was
on the wane. Even peace officers re-
fused to acknowledge there were any
disorderly persons or places, when the
evidence OF others went to show they
were more numerous than the grand
jury had reason to believe. No reasona-
BILE person can expect to abolish evils
that houa axiataA ainaa tho hanin n n
nor do we;our action therefore is to COM
pei these annoyanCes to be kept out Of
public view, otherwise the entire people
would find life q constant torment and
irritation.
Your honor called our attention to
special laws and enaotments OF the last
, legislature, new to the jury, and, we be-
lieve, new to most OF our citizens. We
think they should be printed in our pub
lilo journals, In order that all may deter
mine how far their actions may be in OPP
position. Then, If, Of their own accord
and free will, they will not conform to
these laws, 1t will be time for the state.
through its grand jury, to take action
looking to the enforcement Of the same.
We have not had time at this sitting
to examine into these things. We are
given to understand we cannot be dis
charged at present. Inc ulstrlct at
torney will be..sbsent some days. Most
Of the members Of the grand jury have
neglected business, and desire to give
their attention to personal matters, for
which reason we request you will ex.
cuse us from further attendance at this
time, or until such time later as you
may determine, we will return and
finish the work laid before us by your
honor. A. BELKNAP, Foreman,

The Rival Beauties.

FORT WADswoRTH, September a.
$3.50 a. ma heavy fog hangs
over the bay. Objects mile
distant cannot be recognized. There is
absolutely no wind. The sun Ia making
q feeble attempt to penetrate the fog.
From present Indications there can be
no race today. The Thistle lies at her
old anchorage, her main sail and her
iib top sail set. A great crowd Of
small crafts surrounds the Scotch Beau
ty. Everything but the wind is right
for race. The Volunteer lies
over near the club house at
tended by many vessels. Both vessels
are trying to get down the bay on the
light breeze they have with every sail
spread. The Thistle has always done
her best work In light winds and there
is small chance Of there being any
more than light wind today. There is
considerable betting on the race, but it
is governed by patriotism in almost all
cases, the odds ranging all the way from
10 to 8 down to 2 to l In favor of the

Locating the ShootiSt.

BERLIN, Sept. 27.-An official order has
been sent to Strassburg for a detailed
report OF the frontier affair. Commits
saries have gone to ascertain the exact
spot where the keeper, Brignon, and
Officer MargOt were standing when
Kaufman fired. The frontier line, where
the shooting occurred, is very irregular
and apt to mislead one. Count Bismark
secretary foreign office, has sent q
friendly note to the French embassy,
suggesting an early communication of
the results of the official inquiry. and
the French minister is authorized to
promise ample justice and indemnity II

Poor Prospects for the Cutters.

SANDY Hook, Sept. 27.-S:l5 a. H.
Wind blowing from the west at the rate
Of only two miles an hour, weather very
thick of shore, and unless the haze
clears away 1t will greatly interfere
with the races. The tickle god OF the
winds is evidently disinclined to favor
the rival yachts this morning with
any but light breeze and the public
disappointment will doubtless be as
manifest as the public interest. 1t Is to
be hoped that the result of tOday's con-
test in the lower bay will not prove a
repetitOrs Of the first: trial race. II the
race is sailed today 1t will be under con-
ditiOns most favorable to the Scotch
cutter.

How He Likes San Antonio and

Prof. Bristol, who is now In the

brought his intelligent little mule,
Denver, around to the LIGHT Office today
at the request OF the reporters and as
Denver knows so much, a reporter de-
cided to interview him. Approaching
him Denver shook his head In his conf
cal way and appearing friendly the re-
porter said:
"How do you like San Antonio, Den
ver?" VERY WE'LL" he said. II have
seen great many things | never saw
before. There's the Mexicsns, now;
what do you do with them?" He was
assured the lower classes made excellent
citizens on election day, while the
higher classes held the Offices.
II passed great many churches and
school buildIngs, in the parade. l don't

fessor gives us all the school we want.

he requested us to give him good

The Wonders.

Prof. Bristol's educated horses drew
another packed audience at the Grand
opera house last night and performed az
many marvels on the stage as the night
previous. The mathematical problems
propounded to the mare, Matte, by the
professor ana by the audience, were
solved correctly and without hesitation,
while Denver brought the house down
with his comic business. The other
horses went through their parts With
great satisfaction. At the matinee this
afternoon the orphan children were
given a chance to see the horses,
through the kindness OF Mr.. Rische and
Mr.. Patrick, and the house was filled
with ladies and children. After the per-
Torrance an opportunity was given the
ladies and children to go upon the stage
and see the animals, of which hundreds
availed themselves, many children be-
ing allowed to ride the beautiful horses.

Hotel Robbery,

A few days ago recently discharged
soldier named }. II. Goodman, went to
the Maverick hotel at 6 a. M, and en-
gagged q room. He had evidently then
been drinking, or was getting the better
OF big drunk. Some time after, Chas.
Etzler, a discharged soldier, and man
named Dickman, who is Of the Third
cavalry, passed to his room, stayed there
a while and then went away. At that
time Goodman was asleep and had 500
In his pants pockets. When he got up
from his bed he found that he had been
robbed Of nearly all his money.
Whether the soldier lost the money
at the hotel or was robbed before arriv-
ing there, is matter to be proven, but
one thing is quite sure, he lost the money.
